Your Silent Hunter Experience

I run at 80% realism. Have manual targeting unchecked, and I have external camera use enabled (for taking screen shots).

I play "Dead is Dead". I don't always start over at 1939 though, I start careers at different times throughout the war depending on my mood. Out of my careers starting in '39 the longest I've made it is to about mid '41.

Patrol wise I head to my designated square, hang out for awhile and if nothing comes my way I head to different hunting grounds. My favorite being the western approach to Gibraltar.

Right now I'm playing with the Warships 3.0 Mod (Also run GWX3.0/SH3Commander). It's a different kind of challenge trying to hunt solo merchants/convoys in the coastal waters with a Type 1934 or 1936 Destroyer. There is some satisfaction to making a high speed run at a convoy, throwing out a spread of torps, and maneuvering to avoid fighting more than 1 escort at a time. Live through that, and the Convoy is a buffet.. That is until the ships start being armed...
